If you have 6dccd16b7c2703e8bbf8bca62b5cf248332afbe2 applied, you want c946b3047205d7e107be16885bbb42ab9f10350a too.

I remember it. If you move from the 8110SB to the 8110SC, you will probably want to apply 65d916d95314566f426cc40ff0f17b754a773b0b Btw, could you send me a dmesg from a recent kernel ? I'd like to keep a trace of the XID value for your device. -- Ueimor - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
